Target Cell Background
In 1952, HeLa cells became the first human cell line that could grow and divide endlessly in a laboratory, leading scientists to label these cells "immortal". The immortality of HeLa cells contributed to their adoption across the world as the human cell line of choice for biomedical research.

Short Description
HeLa-cell based In Vitro ATP Assay (Cell Viability)
Assay Description
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is another widely used cell viability assay. When the cancer cells undergo apoptosis or necrosis upon treatment with a compound, cellular ATP content decreases and it can be quantified by colorimetric, fluorometric or luminometric way. The latest bioluminescence assays measure cellular ATP content using the enzyme luciferase which is more sensitive and reproducible when determining cell viability compared to conventional assays.

Assay Type Details
Uncontrolled proliferation is one of the main features of cancer cells. Cell-based in vitro assays are employed to determine whether test molecules possess direct cytotoxic/antiproliferative effects in cancer cells.
